Hey Wendy - why don't you think about the experience as the opportunity to BE everything God breathed life into you for. All of your experiences and choices, everything you already ARE all contribute to what you have now to build on. You are not recreating yourself, because you already are perfect and divine and created!! What's going on now is that you have the opportunity to be everything you already are (which is a pretty spunky, gorgeous, loving woman) and build on it. Don't throw the baby out with the bath water sister-girl.
Re transitions and hair .... OMG...in so many cultures around the world, cutting your hair as a part of the ceremony of transition is fundamental. Widows shave their heads when their husbands die in parts of India, mothers and fathers shave their heads and body hair when a baby boy is born in parts of the Pacific, Australian Aboriginal people have strict ritual about who can cut who’s hair and who can touch the cut hair (hair is considered so powerful by northern saltwater Aboriginal people that it must be burned so it can’t be used in black sorcery. (and Britany Spears had a breakdown and shaved her’s all off …arguably just in time for the hair-drug test she was due to take, but still a provocative example of a hair cut in transition!!! Haha)
A healer once told me our hair carries all our memories. When you think about it, our bodies rejuvenate themselves all the time, our skin flakes and apparently we get a “new” skin every 12 months or so …. But our hair, particularly if it’s long, can be with us for years. Cutting your hair short is the ultimate personal detachment from our past – and I can just imagine a gorgeous curly long in front bob is a perfect way to continue creating yourself into the stylish, loving, smart, creative, independent woman you are destined to continue to be.

Never make someone a priority, who makes you an option.
